New Ming Empire mixed in America

Now the smokeless gunpowder of the Xinming Empire is about to enter the stage of small-scale experiments.

To be precise, Li Mingqi was planning to equip the guards responsible for guarding him with firearms using smokeless gunpowder.

These elite soldiers selected by Liu Erhe from the Imperial Guard are also called Ouchi Guards in the Imperial Guard.

There are three hundred people in total. They have received special ideological education of loyalty to the emperor. Not only are they good at shooting, but they are also very good at boxing and kicking.

After thinking for a while, Li Mingqi decided to postpone the sale of the hand-operated rotating machine gun.

The battle between the North and the South is not particularly fierce now, and it will not be too late to sell it when the Northern Army gains the upper hand.

"Long live my Lord, this is a new pistol sample sent by the Small Arms Design Bureau."

With that said, Liu Erhe opened the box containing the pistol and placed it on the table in front of Li Mingqi.

The suitcase contained three pistols that were very familiar to Li Mingqi.

One is a smokeless powder version of the revolver. Compared with the previous black powder version of the revolver, the magazine of this one is much smaller.

Next to it is a shell gun (imitation), which is later known as the Mauser M96 pistol. It uses a long magazine with a load capacity of twenty rounds and has a range of 50 to 100 meters.

Next to it is the m1911 (imitation). This pistol has a loading capacity of 7+1 rounds, which means that the magazine can hold seven bullets, and one can be preloaded in the chamber.

The m1911 was just used to satisfy Li Mingqi's curiosity about this famous pistol. If all soldiers were to be equipped with it, the head of the Royal Bank would probably cry to death.

Because as far as Li Mingqi knew, one of these pistols was as powerful as six Mauser pistols.

In fact, what Li Mingqi wanted to equip the soldiers was only Mauser pistols, because this kind of gun has the advantage that it can be used as a submachine gun in emergencies.

As for the revolver, the Small Arms Design Bureau was not willing to let the production line of this pistol go to waste, so it specially improved it and sent it to Li Mingqi.

Although Li Mingqi is not very optimistic about this kind of pistol, it can be used as the standard pistol for six-door police officers.

He reached out and tried the m1911, and after making a few aiming movements with one hand, Li Mingqi threw it back into the suitcase.

Then came the revolver. After playing with it for a few times, Li Mingqi lost interest because it was almost the same as the black powder version.

This Mauser pistol also comes with a special hard case, which is a butt mounted on the handle.

And a speed machine was specially designed to achieve single-shot bursts and rapid shooting.

"Let's go to the shooting range and try the gun."

With that said, Li Mingqi walked out carrying the Mauser pistol.

Liu Erhe sighed in disappointment after seeing this scene. It can be seen from Li Mingqi's actions that the pistols of the Imperial Guard in the future are probably the kind of ugly ones that look like flat boxes.

The shooting range that Li Mingqi was talking about was the shooting range of the Royal Small Arms Design Bureau, because this time Li Mingqi not only wanted to test-fire pistols, but also new rifles and...two new guns.

An accident finally occurred during the test firing of the Mauser pistol, that is, this pistol weighed much more than the m1911 because of the long magazine.

And after imitating the attitude in the movie of laying the Mauser gun flat and firing horizontally, Li Mingqi directly put it into the cold palace.

His wrist was almost broken by the shock. This was simply not what Li Mingqi imagined.

The heroic figure of Yan Shuangying holding a gun with both hands and shooting horizontally became more and more impressive in Li Mingqi's mind. Gu

I tried the revolver again. The recoil was a bit stronger than the black powder version, but it was still acceptable.

Then there is the m1911. This kind of pistol was previously rejected by Li Mingqi because of its small ammunition capacity, but now it has become the last hope.

After several test firings, Li Mingqi asked directly: "Can the cost of this pistol be reduced further?"

When Liu Erhe next to him heard Li Mingqi's words, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he said:

"Long live my Lord, the cost of this gun is actually about the same as that of a flat box. Your gun is so expensive because it is engraved with dragon patterns and gilded."

Patterns and gold plating?

Only then did Li Mingqi notice that the grip of the pistol in his hand was indeed not an ordinary anti-slip pattern. It was engraved with small dragon patterns, and he also found gold-plated locations on the trigger and the gun body.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After Li Mingqi blamed him, he suddenly remembered his original instructions.

Because he liked Mauser at that time, he talked about getting a 1911 to keep in his collection.

Patting his head, Li Mingqi said: "Let's use this kind of gun. Has its power been tested? I don't want to see the enemy being able to hit four or five shots in a row and still fight back."

In his previous life, Li Mingqi had seen the news that the suspect was shot twelve times and killed the FBI because he used a small-caliber revolver.

"Don't worry, Long Live Lord. It doesn't take more than two shots for the enemy to lose the ability to resist. This kind of gun is similar to a large-caliber revolver."

In order to be able to use such a good-looking pistol, Liu Erhe no longer cared about face, and completely ignored the person in charge of the small arms design bureau next to him who wanted to show his face in front of Li Mingqi.

"The biggest advantage of this gun is that it can be reloaded quickly. You see, long live the gun, it will not reset after shooting. You can just load the magazine and continue shooting."

Liu Erhe pointed at the M1911 in Li Mingqi's hand that was hung up because the magazine had been empty, and he was frothing at the mouth while explaining.

In fact, if the m1911 is replaced by a pistol with other appearance, I guess Liu Erhe will also appreciate it this way.

Appearance is something that comes from comparison. If you compare m1911 and Mauser pistols together, anyone will like the former.

Nodding, Li Mingqi acquiesced that the military's secondary weapon in the future would be the m1911.

Then comes the highlight of this gun test, which is the king of melee rifles - the shotgun.

Li Mingqi designed the shotgun to deal with the possibility of enemy troops appearing in trenches in the future. When there are no flamethrowers in the trenches, the shotgun is the king.

The National Defense Forces have now demonstrated their strength in front of the northern and southern sides of the United States. Next, they will definitely have to confront them for the eastern seaport.

The enemy is not a fool, and the update of weapons and equipment may be slower, but the physical work of digging trenches is very easy to be stolen, so Li Mingqi can only prepare for a rainy day.

"Your Majesty, the range of this shotgun is twenty meters, but the attack area is very large. It is very useful for clearing enemy troops on city walls or trenches."

Changjiang Yuye of the Small Arms Design Bureau finally found the opportunity to speak in front of Li Mingqi.

"What's the use of twenty meters? It's not as far as shooting with a pistol!"

Liu Erhe next to him despised the rifle in Jiang Yuye's hand.

Today's rifles have a range of several hundred meters. What use can a twenty-meter rifle do?
